The match is slated to kick off at 8pm on Saturday, and it promises to be an intriguing game of football. Newcastle United Newcastle have made a good start to their 2020-21 Premier League campaign and are ninth in the table with seven points from four matches.

United legend still believes the Red Devils needs a “top-class No. 9” despite Martial and Cavani combination
As per the Metro, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is not convinced that Anthony Martial is capable of leading the attack for the Red Devils in the long-term. Although the Frenchman had the best scoring numbers of his career last season with 23 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions, United still need a “top-class No. 9,” according to Scholes. During Mourinho’s era at Old Trafford, Martial often operated from the left, but since Solskjaer took over, he’s been used as a centre-forward than on the flanks. His form post-lockdown was particularly impressive helping the Red Devils secure a third-place Premier League finish, with Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood completing a deadly attacking trio alongside the France international. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men...
Report: Everton were willing to pay 96-cap Int’l £100k-a-wk to sign him on deadline day
Everton tried to sign Sergio Romero from Manchester United on deadline day but the Red Devils refused to sell him. According to the Athletic, Everton we’re willing to pay a £2 million fee for the 96-cap Argentine international. Furthermore, they were willing to pay his wages of around £100,000 per week as well. Apparently, Manchester United were holding out for £8 million for the keeper. The Argentine goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford since the return of Dean Henderson from his loan spell and he is unlikely to play often this season. The 33 year old was recently left out of Manchester United’s Champions League squad and it would have been ideal for him if he had left before the transfer window closed. Everton need to bring in proper competition for Jordan Pickfor...
Report explains how Man Utd missed out on 44-goal star because of Woodward’s decision
Manchester United could have signed Erling Haaland in January if reports are to be believed. As per ESPN, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer met with the player last December and he thought that he had secured an agreement to bring the 20-year-old to Old Trafford. However, Ed Woodward backed out of the deal because of the agent fees and the demand for a release clause. Haaland’s camp wanted a release clause inserted into his contract and Dortmund were happy to accommodate that request. The striker signed for the German club eventually with a €75m release clause, which cannot be exercised until 2022. The 20-year-old striker scored 44 goals for Salzburg and Dortmund last season and Manchester United will surely regret their decision to back out of the deal to sign him. There is no doubt that Haaland ...

The true extent of the damage is yet to be determined and any information on the injury is speculation at this moment. Bailly is the best defender at the club along with Maguire and Solskjaer will need both players fit for the upcoming games. Manchester United have looked vulnerable at the back so f...
Man Utd star dreams of Real Madrid move, some of their fans react: ‘Get rid’, ‘Let him go’
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has admitted that he dreams of playing for Real Madrid one day.

Pogba is yet to display his world-class ability on a consistent basis and the fans will be hoping he can get back to his best this year. Manchester United need players like him in top form in order to challenge for the top honours this season. There is no doubt that he is one of the best midfielders in the world when he is on form and Pogba must look to justif...

Report: Man Utd considering the possibility of signing 23-yr-old without a medical
Manchester United are being linked with a move for the Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.

Manchester United tried to sign Jadon Sancho but the deal has...
